Andrea Dix

I am a British-qualified teacher (with B.Ed, MEd, and MA, degrees) and a former Head of Learning Support. I am experienced in online and in-person settings, specialising in supporting neurodiverse learning needs, confidence-building, and learner independence.
I am an oral-written-language (OWL) specialist who can teach students experiencing literacy difficulties or language delay at both primary and secondary levels. I also have several years of SEMH experience supporting KS3 & KS4 students with back to school emotional regulation and executive functioning skills.
I can mentor and coach to support EHCP and SEL targets. I believe self-esteem, and resilience, are fundamental. Students who feel safe and happy will be more successful learners.
My approach centres on building strong relationships, nurturing confidence, and helping students develop the skills they need to access the curriculum. I provide flexible, tailored sessions for learners, helping them strengthen their skills and build positive attitudes towards learning. I use clear, engaging strategies to support progress while maintaining a calm, encouraging learning environment.
